This is a lovely, traditional hotel. Very Scottish! We went there the first weekend in September. It was my first trip away from home after months of being shielded because of my health. From the moment we arrived, my anxieties diminished. At the hotel entrance, there was a hand sanitizer dispenser. Similar dispensers were in evidence throughout the hotel, including outside the restaurant. Staff wore masks and we were required to wear them when we moved around the hotel, which operated a one way system. At reception our temperature was taken and we were given our room key and an infiormation leaflet and verbal advice.
Our room was on the ground floor and double aspect. It was beautifully appointed. The large, walk in shower tray and wash room facilities were clean and modern. There was even a bottle of hand sanitizer left in our room for us to use throughout our stay. There was a tray with kettle and two disposable cups. We could order tea, coffee, milk and sugar from reception, as required. It was delivered to our room and placed outside in a paper bag. Staff did not enter our room unless we requested it and we would then have to vacate the room while it was serviced.
Friends from England were spending a week at the hotel and they had recommended it to us. Staff were sensitive to the fact that we were from two separate households. We were able to join them in the restaurant for meals by sitting two metres apart at a large table. We were given separate coffee pots, milk jugs etc. Staff are well trained to deal with the restrictions that this virus places upon us.
Overall, it was a great stay, relaxing and safe. I can't wait to return.
